New Delhi: Dossiers given to the United States and United Nations on India's alleged involvement in terrorism in Pakistan did not contain ‘material evidence'.
According to a leading Pakistani daily, Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, testified before country's Senate Foreign Affairs Committee that the dossiers instead contained the “pattern and narrative” of Indian involvement.
“The dossiers have been meticulously prepared, but material evidence cannot be shared for the sake of protecting the sources,” he said, adding that the proofs could have only been provided to others in the narrative shape.
Aziz had earlier talked about the three dossiers ahead of Pak-India National Security Advisers meeting, which was later cancelled.
His statement led to speculations that after decades of complaining about Indian role in terrorism in Pakistan, Islamabad was finally readying to present credible evidence to the world.
The dossiers that allegedly contained proofs about Indian involvement in Balochistan, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and Karachi were given to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US Secretary of State John Kerry after the cancellation of Indo-Pak NSA talks.
India had categorically denied any involvement in Pak insurgency saying it is their own creation. Also the US had snubbed Islamabad's complaint about such interference from Indian side.
